-====== Health and Recovery ======
-===== Player's unnatural healing =====
-**Resting:** During a long or short rest, players may spend Hit Dice to regain hit points, adding their Constitution modifier to each roll. Additionally, any non-severe injuries are automatically healed when Hit Dice are used in a long rest.
-**Hit Dice Recovery:** At the end of a long rest, players regain spent Hit Dice up to a maximum of half their total Hit Dice (rounded down).
-----
-===== Death and Revival =====
-**Standard Rule**: Players can be revived through spells or magical effects.
-**Homebrew Rule**: There is a 50% chance (roll of 11+ on a d20) that any revival attempt fails, regardless of the method used.
-**Increasing Difficulty**: Each successful revival attempt increases the difficulty for future attempts by 5%. The second attempt requires a roll of 12+ on a d20 (55% chance), and so on.
-**True Resurrection**: This spell ignores the chance of failure but can't be used again on the same target to bypass these rules.
